Of Wishes and Fortune <\/em>is a visual novel management game set in the modern day. The player must guide a broke college graduate by the name of Monica Fraser, as she attempts to make a living through the means of fulfilling the wishes of various clients. For that, she must take on various requests and attempt to manage to keep both her reputation and business afloat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n DESCRIPTION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The core of the game is one of socialization and management. The player must figure out how to socialize with each client presented throughout the story, as well as strategize a way to grant the requests of others. The game progresses as the difficulty of clients rises in level, for instance requesting things that prove to be more difficult to obtain or upping the difficulty of the social aspect of the game. Initially, Fraser starts out in a small office space located within a bustling city in the modern day. To progress through the game, Fraser must take on the requests of clients and expand upon the business. As for the main obstacles, they come through the form of the clients and expenses that are needed to maintain the business. These clients are located within the office space, given how that is the main space where they interact with the player. As for the client focused obstacles, they can be navigated through by the use of figuring out the right thing to say\/communicating with them successfully. The obstacle of expenses can be navigated through the use of budgeting that must be employed. As for the means of leveling up, it is through the expansion of the office space, allowing for Fraser to be able to take on more cases at a time, along with becoming much more skilled socially, as she becomes more confident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As for the draw of the story, it is one of Fraser learning how to connect with others, especially when it comes to being able to have a positive impact on the lives of others. Being some sort of business she made as a last resort to get some money, she grows to appreciate her own work and becomes more confident in it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n COMPETITION: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As for the game that I think I can compare to, it would be Silver Thread, <\/em>a game developed by Spicaze on October 1, 2021. Being something that does take from the concept of attending to cases throughout the series, it does share a similarity with my game. However, Of Wishes and Fortune<\/em> does not have its main focus on one central case, being something that allows for more interactions and a greater amount of replayability in that regard. Moreover, there is the additional option of managing the business, of which Silver Thread <\/em>does not offer, and allows the player to not just stick with cases. There is also the aspect of having to really work to get these cases in the first place, giving the players for Of Wishes and Fortune <\/em>a level of freedom that the other game does not have. This level of freedom allows for people to change the business and thus, their reputation as they see fit as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Title: Of Wishes and Fortune \u201cIt was either this or a dead end job.\u201d CONCEPT Of Wishes and Fortune is a visual novel management game set in the modern day.
